These sustainable snack innovations range from plastic-free cookie packaging to insect-infused energy bars.
In addition to a handful of examples that spotlight eco-friendly packaging solutions, examples like Bug Out Bar's Chocolate Brownie Bar and VitaminSea Seaweed snacks spotlight innovative ingredients. While Bug Out Bar's snacks are made with cricket proteins, VitaminSea Seeweed offers a diverse range of products including whole leaf foods, pet-focused snacks and even sustainable skincare products.
Moreover, examples Zego Foods' Crisp Black Rice Cereal address water use, ensuring that minimal water is needed when producing its breakfast range.
In celebration of Earth Day 2020, many consumers are looking to reduce their carbon footprint and are re-prioritizing low impact living. This has been made more of a focus with the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing the masses indoors as a safety precaution.
